Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Bloober Signs Deal for Another Game for Konami — Could It Be More Silent Hill?

Bloober Team has announced a new collaboration with Konami, following the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake. While details of the new project remain under wraps, it's speculated to be another entry in the Silent Hill series, given Bloober's proficiency in horror gaming. Konami will retain its roles as both the publisher and rights holder for this mysterious new title.

Here's what Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno had to say:

Konami, a legendary name in the gaming industry, sought a partner who could breathe new life into one of its most iconic franchises — Silent Hill. Bloober Team was selected for their expertise in horror and atmospheric storytelling, and in 2021, both companies signed a partnership agreement. In October 2022, during the official Silent Hill Transmission livestream, it was announced that Bloober Team was working on a remake of Silent Hill 2, widely regarded as one of the best psychological horror games in history.

The success of the remake proved that Bloober Team had perfectly captured the atmosphere and depth of the original while introducing crucial innovations. The game was well-received by players, earning an 86/100 rating on Metacritic and an 88/100 on OpenCritic, along with numerous awards, including Game of the Year 2024 from IGN Japan and Best Horror Game of the Year from the IGN Community Awards.

The trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project. The deal aligns with Bloober Team’s strategic plan to expand its internal development division within a first-party framework.

Our collaboration with Konami has been incredibly fruitful, and the success of Silent Hill 2 speaks for itself. By sharing knowledge and experience, we have been able to create high-quality production together. Of course, we can't reveal too many details at this time, but we are confident that fans will be just as excited about our collaboration as we are. We can't wait to share something truly special with players when the time is right.

The Silent Hill 2 remake was released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, achieving sales of one million copies within days. This potentially made it the fastest-selling Silent Hill game, although Konami has not yet confirmed this record. IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake scored it an 8/10, stating, "Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

The success of the Silent Hill 2 remake has evidently bolstered Konami's plans for the franchise. Other projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are in development, and there's a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 on the horizon. Additionally, modders are enhancing the PC version of the Silent Hill 2 remake with various modifications.
